Example 1
The present embodiment provides a current control circuit in a low temperature environment, and fig. 1 is a structural diagram of the current control circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the current control circuit includes: a voltage dividing resistor R1, a temperature sensing device 11 and a control circuit 12; the first end of divider resistance R1 inserts the power anodal, the first end of temperature-sensing device 11 is connected to the second end, the second end connection power negative pole of temperature-sensing device 11, it is the sampling point to get any point between the first end of temperature-sensing device 11 and divider resistance R1, temperature-sensing device 11 changes the resistance value according to ambient temperature, and then change the magnitude of the sampling voltage of sampling point, the inside material of temperature-sensing device 11 changes can lead to in the transform of ambient temperature value, and then lead to the resistance of temperature-sensing device 11 to change, change the change of ambient temperature parameter is the change of sampling voltage's size through temperature-sensing device 11, as control circuit 12's input signal.

In order to supply power to the load circuit and the current control circuit by using the same power source, as shown in fig. 4, the current control circuit further includes a core T1 and a winding L3, an inductor L2 of the load circuit is wound on one side of the core T1, and a winding L3 is wound on the other side of the core T1, and an induced voltage is generated by the core T1 and the winding L3 based on the current flowing in the L2, so as to supply power to a voltage dividing resistor R3 (i.e., the voltage dividing resistor R3 in the above embodiment) and a thermistor R4 (i.e., the thermistor R2 in the above embodiment).
The current control circuit further includes a comparator 41 (i.e., the comparator 121 in the above-mentioned embodiment), a PWM chip 42 (i.e., the PWM chip 122 in the above-mentioned embodiment), and a constant current dimming chip 43 (i.e., the constant current chip 213 in the above-mentioned embodiment), in the prior art, the constant current circuit adopts a step-down mode, and by sampling the current flowing through the LED, the proportion of the on time of the driving switch in the LED circuit in the same period, i.e., the duty ratio, is controlled, so as to achieve the stability of the output current of the switching power supply, i.e., the stability of the current flowing through the LED lamp, and in addition, a high temperature protection circuit can be added to prevent the high temperature damage of the power supply. In a low-temperature environment, the stability of the output current at the time of starting is affected by the change of the capacitance parameter of the capacitor C2, and the current peak value becomes large.
In order to solve the above problem, in the present embodiment, the induced voltage generated in the winding L3 supplies power to the voltage dividing resistor R3 and the thermistor R4, a point is arbitrarily selected between the voltage dividing resistor R3 and the thermistor R4 as a sampling point, the sampling point is connected to the inverting input terminal of the comparator 41 and compared with the reference voltage Vref1 input to the positive input terminal of the comparator 41, the output terminal of the comparator 41 is connected to the input terminal of the PWM chip 42, the PWM chip 42 is controlled to output a high-frequency pulse driving signal, the output terminal of the PWM chip 42 is connected to the signal receiving pin of the constant-current dimming chip 43, and the constant-current dimming chip 43 controls the dimming mode of the constant-current dimming chip 43, that is, the duty ratio of the driving switch is controlled to decrease or not change according to the high-frequency pulse. When the LED power supply is in a low-temperature environment, the resistance value of the thermistor R3 is large, when the LED power supply is started at the temperature, the sampling voltage of a sampling point is larger than or equal to the reference voltage Vref1, the PWM chip 42 is activated, a high-frequency pulse driving signal is output, the constant-current dimming chip 43 enters a PWM dimming mode, the switching tube Q2 is driven, the duty ratio of the driving switching tube Q2 is reduced, the current passing through the LED is reduced, and the smooth starting of the output current is realized. When the switching power supply works for a period of time, the switching power supply can generate heat, and due to the fact that the size of the circuit is small and components are concentrated, the resistance value of the thermistor R4 is reduced along with the rise of temperature, so that the sampling voltage is reduced, when the sampling voltage is lower than Vref1, the PWM module is locked and outputs a constant electric signal, the constant-current dimming chip enters a non-dimming mode, and a normal current value is output to drive the LED light source to be lightened, so that stable light emitting is realized.
